Re: "Neat" Pictures
Because the line between magic and tech really is blurry when you're dealing with Marvel's "cosmic" stuff. Kirby's depictions of Asgard were deliberately modern, with high-tech machines and everything. I wouldn't sweat it, though. I think the point is made sufficiently that any given story could call it magic or alien tech and audiences wouldn't be confused.

I like the body language of the girls. "This is just for the photo, right? We can go after this? He didn't label me 'sweet' for any other reason, right?"
Re: Creepy Pics.
I never found clowns creepy. I liked Bozo as a toddler, but after that they were basically non-entities. They were just odd, lingering relics of a prior age, like jesters or marionettes or Charlie Chaplin.

I could be wrong, but I've seen people who went way overboard with normal tanning. It tends to bleach the color out of their hair, too. Plus she looks orange and not nearly as dark in her mug shot from last week.
